How to change the handle of the glove compartment of the Citroen C3 MK1

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see how to change the handle of the glove compartment of the Citroen C3 MK1 version (also known as FC or FN). We simply remove it by levering, from the inside of the drawer, with a screwdriver, from the side of the cover, then remove the metal closure, always levering with the same screwdriver. We can find the new handle for example on Amazon with the code B0BT1RLJSF, at the price of 13.52 euros, + delivery costs of 5.99 euros. Of course, the new handle comes complete with the spring, which we load onto its support and then reassemble it by passing it under the cover: Placing the spring inside its housing is quite complex, it takes a bit of patience. Then we put back the cover we had removed at the beginning, and it's done.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
